The Will to Meaning is overwhelming the most vital task any soul can
accept. I can say that my journey has taken me down many a path,
I have breathed the air of many a moment filled with aspiration and
inspiration but to say I know, I feel, I live with full meaning would of
course not be truthful to self or others. I can look in the mirror and
feel good about self some days, less the next but the pattern remains
as I remain without a true meaning that can transcend itself to a
level where thought or questioning is no longer required. For when
a man, or a woman, or a child comes to know meaning such as this
there is no longer questioning involved - it just is, it becomes and most
of all it fulfills a purpose without measure of time or age or want of more.
More does not matter and matter is placed in proper perspective
with promise of receiving non-existent or expected only acceptance
accept. I can say that my journey has taken me down many a path,

So how does one come to know this Will to Meaning that Viktor Frankl
speaks of, that meaning that for him saved him from a gas chamber, or that
meaning that holds such specific purpose even unto ones own death. My
soul here swings back and forth as a pendulum in time, as a chime in the
wind yet both have meaning in measurement or song. Surely there lies
something with greater purpose unhidden before my eyes. And who is it
that I call upon to understand this calling should I find it? Who would
you call upon and how easy is it to know an answer as real? Save the
continuous rattling of the brain I carry there a few stars that appear to
light a way, does one of them have meaning for me I suppose I will
not know unless I seek it. And I suppose I would not seek it so
fervently in full if Frankl had not gifted the world with his souls own
search for man's meaning sparing us from depths his soul took to bring us
human insight.....bkm

Man's Search for Meaning is one of the most important books I have read within my life. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in understanding the capablities of the human spirit...bkm
